The EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tube for HbA1c Test is a specialized blood collection device designed for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) testing, widely used in clinical laboratories and hospital departments. Pre-loaded with K2EDTA anticoagulant and pre-set with precise vacuum volume, it ensures high-quality sample collection for accurate and reliable HbA1c analysis.
This product is compatible with both manual and automated analytical systems, meets ISO and CE standards, and serves as the standard choice for long-term glucose monitoring in modern diagnostics.
Product Overview
HbA1c is a key indicator for evaluating long-term blood glucose control in patients. Testing requires samples with intact red blood cells and excellent anticoagulation. This EDTA vacuum tube delivers stable blood samples by preventing coagulation and hemolysis during and after collection, ensuring consistent results throughout the analytical cycle.
The tube is made of medical-grade PET or glass, offering excellent clarity for visual sample inspection. It is pre-filled with a precise dose of K2EDTA that reacts immediately with blood, maintaining cell integrity—particularly important for HbA1c testing.

Product Advantages
1. Optimized for HbA1c Testing
Designed specifically for HbA1c detection, ensuring red blood cells remain intact and minimizing risk of hemolysis.
2. Stable Anticoagulation
Uniformly coated K2EDTA dissolves quickly, preventing clot formation and enabling accurate whole blood analysis.
3. Accurate Vacuum Design
Calibrated vacuum ensures precise blood volume collection, compatible with standard holders and needles.
4. Leakproof and Secure
High-sealing caps prevent leakage and air exposure, reducing biological contamination risks.
5. Flexible Material Options
PET tubes are lightweight and break-resistant for routine use; glass tubes offer higher chemical stability for advanced labs.
Applications
This product is suitable for various healthcare and research settings, including:
Hospital laboratories and endocrinology departments
Community health centers
Physical examination centers
Chronic disease follow-up programs (e.g., diabetes management)
Clinical labs using both manual and automated HbA1c analyzers
Instructions for Use
Connect the needle and perform venipuncture.
Insert the vacuum tube into the holder to begin blood collection.
Once blood enters the tube, immediately invert 8–10 times to mix the anticoagulant thoroughly;
Submit the sample to the lab within 2 hours. If delayed, store at 2–8°C and test within 48 hours;
Do not centrifuge HbA1c samples unless specifically required.
Precautions
For in vitro diagnostic use only;
Not suitable for testing purposes other than HbA1c;
Single-use only—do not reuse;
Store in a dry, cool, and shaded environment;
Do not use if the vacuum is compromised, the tube is cracked, or the anticoagulant appears clotted.
